Intermodal Shipping both by rail and road

Intermodal Shipping both by rail and road

In the global trade ecosystem, the ability to move goods seamlessly across multiple land-based transport modes — without sacrificing visibility, speed, or control — is what separates conventional logistics from elite operations. At LGORD, we redefine intermodal shipping as a core logistics intelligence platform, seamlessly combining rail and road freight to deliver synchronized, cost-efficient, and secure transportation across vast distances and complex routes.

Our service is not just about moving containers from point A to point B — it’s about delivering operational continuity, risk-mitigated transit, and intelligent coordination across national and continental boundaries.

The LGORD Intermodal Chain of Control

Here’s how we coordinate a typical intermodal freight operation:

Cargo Collection – Goods are picked up from your origin site via LGORD’s truck fleet or bonded partner carrier.
Terminal Handling – At LGORD’s designated intermodal terminals, cargo is loaded onto rail-compatible containers, sealed, and booked into our smart manifest system.
Rail Movement – High-volume, long-distance transport is carried out via electrified or diesel freight rail corridors, with live monitoring and route optimization.
Interchange & Offloading – On arrival, cargo is securely offloaded at a rail terminal and handed off to LGORD’s road freight team for local or regional distribution.
Last-Mile Delivery / Storage – Items are either delivered to the final destination or securely stored at a LGORD warehouse or vault facility with controlled access.

Every transition is tracked, audited, and geo-verified.
